Homework Policy 

Extensions of school learning are meant to be non-stressful and promote positive parent-child relationships. Five to 10 minutes of reading per night is recommended. Parents are encouraged to discuss, with their children, their child's daily activities, and/or assignments brought home. The nature and amounts of home study recommended by the Calgary Board of Education (Administrative Regulation 3066) are as follows:  

Division I (Grade K-3)

The motivation which comes from parent interest in children’s schoolwork can be valuable to a child.  Parents and teachers should encourage children to read from books suggested by the school. Excessive pressure can bring about negative results. No formal assignments shall be made, but from 5-10  minutes of systematic study is recommended. 

Division II (Grade 4-6)

Formal assignments may be given at the discretion of the teachers particularly for pupils who need special attention or help, but in general, assignments should be of the reading or study type. Parents should be made aware of the teacher's general requirements with respect to home study, and the Board's expectations that no school requirements should exceed 20 minutes in length.
